Epidemiological models are simplified mathematical representations of infectious disease outbreaks to understand the course of disease evolution in a population, by combining various inputs of how a ...

It is possible to successfully fend off a zombie attack, according to Canadian mathematicians. The key is to "hit hard and hit often." Oh yes, somebody actually did a study on mathematics of a ...

Graduate student Jason Davis doesn’t use a traditional lab to study prion diseases. Instead, he relies on computer modeling and applied mathematics. Jason Davis uses computer modeling and applied ...

The focus of my research is in mathematical and computational biology with particular applications in ecology, infectious diseases, and agriculture through modeling, analysis, and simulations.

Research by scientists has found that greater consideration of the limitations and uncertainties present in every infectious disease model would improve its usefulness and value. Research by ...
